Samsung Captivate - Captivate General

Hi everyone, Just joined the site. I may only be here briefly to ask a question, Im going on a trip and need to take an unlocked phone with me and pic up a Sim when i arrive there. So i happen to have this old Samsung Captivate and wish to unlock it, i search the thread and it now seems to be closed. Rather than pay a guy down the street to unlock it i thought i could try myself. Is there any chance someone can send me the link to the little program to get the unlocker code off my phone? i watched a fella on you tube and got me to this site. seems pretty cool, never heard of a site that might help people before without chucking CC #'s out.
[email protected] is my email. Also this phone is so old should i fine a firmware update for it........its like 6 years at least its been in the cubord! anyhow thanks in advance if anyone can point me in the right direction........Cheers All

Need help with Touch Flo Cube for the Tilt

I am an absolute upgrading noob. I have never done anything like this before nor have I even attempted it. So I was hoping someone would please be able to help me. If someone could even take the time to walk me through these processes I would be eternally grateful.
A gentleman came into my store with the Touch Flo Cube application running on his Tilt and I fell in love. The gentleman gave me the name of the program and sent me online to do a little research first. Well, long story short I ended up here and I was told this was one of the best places to go. So, I had quite a few very noobish questions and I was hoping that you guys could help me and would be gentle. I am very concerned because I have never done this before and everywhere I look there are very big warnings about "bricking your device". I have already gone through one Tilt due to liquid, and I do not want to go through another. So please please help me out here guys.
So, I have found a place to download the Touch Flo Cube from. The gentleman that I spoke to on htcwiki.com said that all I needed to do was install the application to my Tilt's internal memory, and then once I open the folder it would self install. Do I store this to it's own individual Folder? Or do I store it to a certain folder in the device? Does the device have to be unlocked in order to run the application?(Mine currently is locked to at&t Wireless USA)
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to view websites similar to the i-phone?
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to watch Youtube videos and other online videos? If not, how do I do so?
Also, I went to download the application, and it said that if I didn't buy some content that after 90 days my stuff would be deleted. Does this meant that after 90 days my application will be deleted off of the device? This might be a really really dumb question, but I just simply don't know the answer. Sorry

no it will not brick your phone
it will install on its own
no it will not make you view websites like the iphone or watch videos on you tube..you need to get TCPMP video player and the video bundle to do so
and that cube is prolly some 3rd party program that you buy...there is a cube application that is completly free...
the cube is just a cube that has shortcuts to programs and your favorite people...

I agree. This was a quick, informative reply without any attitude. For someone to ask such noob questions because the can't be bothered reading this site for more than a few minutes he should be lucky. Questions like this get answered every other day and just bog down the fourm.
Please do a lot more reading of this site so that you actually understand how to flash a ROM before you go a head and brick your phone. I'd say at least for a few days rather than a few minutes!

I wish you all the luck and hope you get what you're looking for, but, seriously, you couldn't use search and read for a little? Anything you wanna learn how to do is provided in Stickies, Wiki's, and Search. I had NO idea how to flash a ROM or where to start when I first got here. I just started reading thread after thread until I started to grasp what needed to be done. I understand you're anxious to get your device all modded and the way you want it, but unless you invest the time to understand what you're doing, jumping into this is NOT the way to go. Next thing you'll be doing is starting ANOTHER thread because something went wrong and your device got bricked. Do you wanna go w/o a phone for x amount of days until you either figure it out or buy another one? Doubtful. So read, read, and keep reading. Everyone is here to help, but they're also sick of people making their first post exp[ecting people to hold their hands and do everything for them. Good luck.

**HELP** Hard-SPL unlocker issue -no response from developers

I've read all over the forums that newer owners of the TP2 are not able to unlock their phones to enable ROM flashing. I've tried several suggestions but have not been successful. I am getting an error telling me '...we have detected that you appear to have already unlocked another device...' which is not true. I have submitted a ticket several days ago but it appears to be untouched. I've owned several HTC's before and have never had 'license' issue with a unlocker. Is there ANY way around this? Is there any other unlocker in existence? Can anyone verify they've been successful with the unlocker recently and if so, please describe what you have done in the process? I would love to help out the community with ROM testing feedback, etc. but I'm stuck.

Send them another ticket...they will reply...
well whatever. obviously, in my case the only way to get my 'free' license was to pay for it. I paid $6 bucks or whatever it was and I got my 'free' license rigth away
Don't know if this will help but I had a hell of a time unlocking my sprint touch pro 2. Tried just about everything I could find on all the forums - spent 3 months just trying to get the bastard unlocked. I too never had the problem previously.
I did donate and get a RhodiumWUnlocker and it would not work.
I also tried but could not get the SSPL-Manual-RhodiumW__V1_01 to work from the phone, it just locked up.
What I did seems silly, but it worked for me on mine.
I gave up using my main desktop that I have used for years for everything and grabbed a new/different Windows 7 laptop and installed the Hard SPL from there and it worked!!
I was then able to run the MightROM update.
I would try doing the flash/unlock from another machine. Had I not been so obstinate I could have save my self a butt load of aggrevation.
I now have the latest MightROM running with one major bug - got a corrupted 'HTC Sense Home' that I can't seem to get rid of - I tried the "MightyMike & LilRico PIMPstick Purple Full" and it jacked the Home all up. And it will not uninstall either!
Oh well.
But you might try from a different machine that's all I could recommend and I hope that helps.
Same problem I paid three times, submitted 2 tickets & I get no response for 2wks and counting! I sent them my payment info as well

I paid twice and I can't use the program, this will actually be my official third payment! I just cant find the other e-mail confirmation yet. So could you guys get back with me A.S.A.P this his my second ticket! I PM u with the full trans ID
I actually had this same issue! I didn't do a ticket though. Sent a direct email to him and next morning (this was at 4am) he sent me a new link and ta da!
So try sending him an email and I guess they'll have to verify or something?

Hello, You aren't allowed to post you email apparently and it has been removed.
Making this forum the only way for us to help you.
First of all you should ensure wether you have a MileStone (EU) or Droid (US)
You can tell by looking at your phone and checking if it says Verizon.
If it does, I can't help you any further and you should ask for help in the Droid forums. If it doesn't, I'm close to sure we can help you out
So now that you know which phone you have, you've probably done half of the work already. I can't really tell what your problem is, but I guess you have these 2 issues:
1, You have no GPS-Application. You can buy, or get one for the phone. I'm talking about softwares like Navigon and iGo, which aren't free though, but allow you to navigate without internet (for if you don't have an internet contract.)
If you don't want to pay any money and own an internet subscribtion in your contract, you can just use Google Maps to navigate! Update it through the android market and you're good to go!
2, Now for the second issue:
Unfortunately we don't have any chance of getting custom roms! Only the Motorola Droid Does! There is a way through nandroid backups, but seen the fact that you are just new to the whole thing, I'd recommend you to explore the forums and later on install MotoFrenzy, or the official update to Froyo from motorola, which they will, according to them, release by the end of 2010
Hope I helped!
Greetings, Mike

Help: Bricked phone - need someone in Australia

Hi guys,
I've bought my HTC One XL directly from Australia, through Telstra. But now I live in Brazil
Well, I bricked my phone pretty hard. I even bothered reading all the topics about my stituation to see if there was any available solution. Turns out there isn't.
Well, at least through the community. From what I gathered, HTC is able to refurbish it and send it back - or at least exchange for another one.
The problem is, since this device is not sold in Brazil, HTC-Brazil simply don't do any kind of repair on it. So, my only hope lives in a good australian soul accepting to receive my phone and do me this big favour of checking if HTC-Australia would help me - even if I have to pay some technical fee.
I know this forum is not exacly for something like this, but I'm out of ideas. And since my investment was pretty big and I can't afford another one right now, I'm here begging for some help.
If this good soul exists, please, PM me so we can go through details.
Thanks in advance!
I feel you man..what'd you do to your phone? And when you get on the phone with HTC Australia tell them the truth I've seen them take pity on some people for flashing the wrong thingss and making it free to recover

Thanks man. Well, I was absolutely used to the HOX with Tegra 3, once I got the XL I thought I know almost everything. It worked well for a while, but things went sour when I tried to downgrade. I think it corrupts some stuff on the phone, and after that I think it's not possible to install a RUU. Well, I tried to anyway and found out that the hard way.
I was already pretty honest with them. I talked to them online, told them the whole story, but they said they could do nothing for me since I was in Brazil. And, as I said, HTC-Brazil was completely useless, since they don't sell this device here.
That's why I'm trying to find some help from an australian mate here at the forum. 'Til now, I had no success.
I found a guy who does JTAG here in Brazil. Since I'm having a hard time doing it trough HTC, I think I'll try this one last resort. I think I got almost nothing to lose by now.
What exactly do you need someone to do for you?

Hey timmaaa!
I'd need that person to give me an address to send the device, and after that I'd use this address to ask HTC what should I do.
Possibly I'd need it to be sent to HTC or Telstra.
But it's ok, by now I took the second possibility. I sent it to be used in a test with Riffbox. Now all I have to do is pray, as much as I can.
Anyway, thanks for replying!
Hey radjan! Check out mobiletechvideos.com they do jtagging service for about 80$ ...and its an honest site

Thanks man. I found int while I was doing my research yesterday.
Anyway, I found another site, a brazilian one (amigoandroid.com.br) which does the same service. I called him, and he sound pretty good technically, even explaining to me why jtagiing the Tegra version is a no-go. Also, I found some pretty good reviews about him in some brazilian forums.
He also explained to me that this process for the One XL is still in beta testing. But, as I said, I got pretty much nothing more to lose. For me it's ok if it ends up bricked if it makes future bricked devices come back to life.
Beside that, the price is basically the same, but I save money from the shipping and save some time I'd use to explain brazilian customs that the device was already mine, that I was sending it for repair and yadda yadda.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Will keep posted and, in cade anyone ends up screwed like me, they may fin a light at the end of the tunnel.

Ever sonce that day my emails, my phone, my service.... hardly any of it works. Ive lost about 800$ from purchases made from my phone that i didnt make. Long story short ive read about phone an sim card cloning but im 45 years old an i know nothing of this..... My question.... Can anyone help me find out whats happened to my phone? Walk me through it? Cause the roomates i speak of are my girlfriends 18 an 24 old sons. And i would need to be able to prove this is happening so i dont feel horrible kicking my girls kids out. If someone could help me prove this or if someone could help me stop this from happening. All advice will be much appreciated an wont be forgotten. Thank you

Theres tons more to it then this. This is just basic. If u have any questions about any of this info ask please. This is a mess
submit error report to samsung members app > get help > error report . then title it something like "I've been hacked" or "suspected hacking"
there is a separate team that handles hacking issues at samsung. Hope you get your $ back (this part you'll have to talk to your bank and ask for help for suspected theft/hack/fraud)
Yeah, I tried that on advice from a co worker. Samsung said I was pretty much screwed on return cause it was a At&t problem. So At&t trouble shot, but did no good. Is there no way to just find out what happened an when? I appreciate you commenting. Please anymore advice will be greatly appreciated.

did you call samsung or did you report error as I suggested? calling them only gets you to Customer Service agent that works off of scripts.
Reporting error gets it to the engineers who look through the logs and analyze device events.
If it is hacking then as noted before, the team that deals with hacking will help you out... otherwise samsung engineers should be able to identify what the potential cause of this is.
Similar with AT&T, unless the engineers have the device with them or is able to look into the software to analyze the events recorded... there's not a whole lot they can do.
If you've already submitted an issue ticket and that's the reply that you got back... then I don't know what else to tell you
Go to the police? You seem to have some answers already if you suspect sim cloning...

yea... that could be one option I suppose. As long as you don't mind making the 'friend' relationship awkward a.f. by bringing in the police. If they aren't that close in the frist place and you can manage to break ties with them, then sure... I'd go for it as well.

unlock as in root the phone or unlock as in release the phone from being locked to Tmobile? if the latter, then you just need to pay off the phone or wait a few months (depends on the TMobile rules on unlocking the phone) and ask for the phone to be unlocked.
